My
paintings focus on the urban / suburban infrastructure dominating our landscape
– roads, traffic lights and communication networks entangled overhead, gas
stations and convenient stores. I relish the disjointed imagery glimpsed through
my car window while looking over the SUV in the next lane. When I piece together this drive-by landscape
I see a culture obsessed with mobility, predictability and convenience.
I use
fragmented images, repeated across multiple panels to explore an ambiguous
shifting space and a hint of narrative. Each work incorporates memories formed by
moments half observed and then forgotten, but made familiar through countless
repetition. The painting takes shape as a hybrid, not quite any-place, not
quite no-place. I want to create an experience that is intimate because I’ve been
there, but anonymous because it is everywhere.
